Bookmarks | How to Add to your Samsung Home Page

July 21, 2015 by Debra

Hi, I am so excited. Just discovered this wonderful new Lightroom Plugin, Pro Image Share. Previously I was using Sticky Albums. Although I really liked the Sticky Albums, cost was a huge influence. Since I already host my own websites, Pro Image Share was most cost effective for me and my purposes. For iPhone and iPad users, the neat little icon’s will be added to your homepage just the same. For Android users it’s not quite as easy just need to do an extra step or two. Simple instructions were found on this website which I have included below.

This entire shortcut and trick on the Samsung Galaxy S5 only takes a few seconds, and is extremely simple. Shortcuts were added to the homescreen, and you’ll want to do the same using these steps.

The stock web browser on the Galaxy S5 is simply called “Internet” and is Samsung’s own web browser like Chrome or Internet Explorer. While using the stock Internet app simply pull down to reveal the address bar where you type the website name, and tap the three dots to the far right of the screen. This is the menu button which pops down to reveal a few options. A few down simply tap “Add shortcut to home screen” and you’re done.
The exact page you were viewing once you press add shortcut to home screen will now be added to your smartphone. While flipping through homscreens one tap on the newly created (and bland) icon will open the Internet app and instantly navigate to that website. You’re all set.

The steps detailed above are exactly the same for all Galaxy devices using the stock Internet app.

Birthday Parties!

July 5, 2015 by Debra

Party planned, guests invited, cake baked and the decorations hung, now it’s time to party! No more party photos without mom and dad in the picture. Get out from behind the camera. Let Debra worry about saving your special birthday memories. Enjoy your time with family and guests. Debra will do her best to capture each and every guest. Including the cake, the decor and all of the food!

Yes, I LOVE birthday parties! There’s no catch. All I ask is no expense on my part for the party- like a roller skating party or movie theme you would cover my admission fee. And of course, I would get a piece of the birthday cake and ice cream!

Calendars – July 2015

July 4, 2015 by Debra

Hi, this may seem strange to you- but I just love things like a calendar! One of my all time favorite stores to shop is office depot. Yep, that’s right! I use the Google calendar on my phone for personal appointments and such. This is a really good application because whether I’m on my phone, tablet or home computer- I see the same calendar. The best feature of the application is the reminders. I use two of them- the SMS feature and email. Soon the SMS feature will be phasing out- bummer. But all the same the application is really good, especially since it’s free!

Another calendar I have been using is Calendar Creator Deluxe 12. How many of you use the Franklin Covey planners? The Calendar Creator program can create your calendar as refill pages for your Franklin. Now that’s nifty! Working with websites, I have often wanted to add a calendar of events.

Searching for the right one was becoming not easy at all. Whether it be some aspect of the program- not user friendly, the cost or the sheer appearance of the calendar, I was truly having a difficult time deciding on which program to buy. That’s when I went back into the Calendar Creator program and really took a good look at all of the features. The event tab in the main menu link above links to the months July thru December 31, 2015. The program exports as html. I did create an index.html page to contain the exported files. Centering the exported calendar html files- they were not centered. By creating the index.html page, I was able to center the calendar. If anyone is interested, this can be a different topic with more details explaining what I did and why.

While searching for a calendar program, I wanted something very simple that I could decorate as I wish. This program allows custom designs and comes with many different images. If you are wanting a user-friendly program, I recommend Calendar Creator 12. Please keep in mind there will be a learning curve to designing your first calendar. However this is the same for any new software program. The help section is really handy.

Each month I will post the current pdf calendar file. Simply click the calendar picture and the pdf file should download to your computer to print or save as.

Best Wishes,
